4.1.5.8 RX Data Block Fast

Structure BSL Core Command

BSL CommandProtectedCMDALAMAHDataBSL Core Response
RX Data Block FastYes0x1B(AL)(AM)(AH)D1…DnNo

Description

This command is identical to Section 4.1.5.1, except there is no reply to indicate that the data was correctly programmed. RX Data Block Fast is used primarily to speed up USB programming on the MSP430F5xx and MSP430F6xx family of devices.

Note:

When a block is written partly outside the device memory (for example, starting to write in FRAM but exceeding the end of the memory), the whole data block will not be written.

Protection

This command is password protected and fails if the password has not been sent.

Command

0x1B

Command Address

Address to write the received data to.

Command Data

Command consists of the data D1 through Dn to be written. The command consists of n bytes, where n has a maximum of 256.

Command Returns

BSL acknowledgment

Example for UART PI
